I'm going with my Mum to her chemo education session tomorrow, any suggestions on things I should ask? She starts chemo next week, they hope to shrink the tumor before she has surgery. I'm a little foggy on all the details as Mum was a bit too stunned to clearly pass on the information she got from the cancer clinic yesterday.
It's ovarian cancer that's spread throughout her abdomen, including her stomach lining. Also apparently to a lymph node in her neck. I know I need to ask about diet and infection control. My dad is in hospital waiting to go into long term care, so I'm not sure if visiting him could pose risks to her.
All the doctors and surgeons are optimistic about her prognosis. To me it sounds dire but I'll trust in their opinions.
